    As someone who grew up outside the US, I can tell you that every developed country in the world casts itself as the greatest country on earth. Now, all of those countries, except the US, have most of the basics down, so there’s that.

      I have lived in 5 countries and the USA is the only one that claims this we’re the greatest bullshit all the time.

      Every country loves itself, but the USA is psychotic about it

      Not Germany.

      For once.

      And for the time being.

        Germans are complainers by nature. But when you look at what they get up to when they think they’re better than everyone else, it’s probably better that way.
